2000 ford escort zx2 will turn over but it won't start!! HELP!!

It will turn over and "Whine" but it won't start we have already ruled out the spark plugs, coil pack and module, the crankshaft censor, and the camshaft censor. what else could it be??
tunrs over but won't start like its not building presser

i have a 1999 Ford Escort LX 4 cylinder 2.0 and will crank but not fire up, just acts like it wants to crank, but will not. I replaced spark plugs and wires, gas squirts out the fuel pump and we checked that stuff but will still not fire up, what else could it be?

I have had that problem with my 98 Dodge Ram 1500. It was the Crank Shaft Position sensor.. If you do it yourself make sure you disconnect the positive battery cable from battery for couple hours to let the computer drain any electricity it may store. So it can rest the computer. I didn't do that and couldn't figure out why it still wouldn't start. Until I asked a mechanic.

it could be down to your spark plug leads take the leads out one by one and get somebody to hold the lead to the engine [to earth it] NOT WITH YOUR HAND with something thats not conductive like something plastic then try starting the engine to see if a spark jumps from the lead and repeat this please dont do this with your hand its very dangerous enouf voltage to knock you out!

As with any no-start issue, you will need to figure out if you have a problem with fuel pressure to the injectors, or spark to the plugs.I would also check the computer for trouble codes.Let me know what you find out.

not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can
be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it
can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or
no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition
coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.

so you have spark is the rotor button truning when you crank the mtr over. sorry these may seem like mundane questions but this what i need to know. you stated that the timing belt was replaced has the vech ran seens the belt was replaced?
